Ya prolly got to pull the frame rail off to get to it.

For this work be sure the clamp is both ac & dc

My preferred method is to use an amp meter, that gives the real picture. It seems like they are about 8 amps each? It takes good wiring(2 #10 to feed them)

What snoshoe said.

Ya need to ohm it out, looks mean nothing.

Look hard at the time and material to build your own......

That looks high. Get with injpumped on this forum. Maybe even buy a proper wiring harness, as said above the glow plugs need lots of amps and proper wiring!

And if it is a D282 it has glow plugs that must be working. Pre cup properly installed etc. A D282 in decent shape should start pretty easy.

I don't know of anyone but Deka making batteries here. I think the NAPA may be Deka also. The local genny shop sells Deka, never heard anyone say they had warranty issues. I been getting about 10 years on these high end NAPA batteries so I am good so far!! I have about 6 to 8 of them from 2 years to about 12.

That is a good price. I did not know cummins sold batteries. The closest one is a 70 mile round trip tho.

I recently replaced my battery, was just shy of $150.00

He does a lot of the older stuff, he went thru my injectors for me a couple years back. He goes by injpumped on some of the forums.

Don't ya have a napa nearby?????? Them big 31 size with ss studs are sold eveywhere around here. I run diesel rx glow plugs from Gunther Heritage Diesel but you can get them other places. The trick is to got off the button when the engine fire if you have an alternator on it. The plugs are good for about 11 volts so the alt will cook them.

I run one 950 amp grp 31 with stud posts Napa Bat 7236

They are on ebay
